Pure Lady 非常女 [Taiwanese song, English translation]



This is a song sung by Fay Huang in Taiwanese, a dialect similar to the Hokkien dialect of the mainland. It's the theme song for a Pili Glove Puppetry (Budaixi) TV series character.

The character is a tragic young woman, whose name literally means "Extraordinary Lady" (translated as "Pure Lady", to signify her lovable, innocent, and courageous character).

Pure Lady first entered the underworld full of curiosity and spirit. However, she was naively deceived and raped by an evil guy while trying to reform him. Pregnant with the reincarnation of the Evil Lord, She was hunted down by both the righteous and evil sides, and was killed in the end.
